Armour ceramics - 4Kgf Vickers indentation on CVDSiC

Advanced Materials

Advanced materials research includes understanding, designing and engineering the structure of a material from atomistic to micron scale by correlating with material mechanical and functional properties, as well as chemical composition and processing conditions.

The research activities under the theme focus on following areas: advanced metals and ceramics at extreme conditions, energy materials, surface engineering, microstructure and property characterization, and atomistic scale modelling.

Activities we address include but are not limited to:

High temperature oxidation of metals

Microstructural evolution of superalloys and steels during high temperature service
